TTA2015 Round 2 Street Class
The 2nd part of TTA Round 2 2015 coverage will cover street class. This is the class where your car have to be road legal and use 140 Threadwear or above street tyre to compete. I am sure this is the class where majority of enthusiast can relate themselves to. The class we cover today are Street Turbo AWD, Street Turbo 2WD, Street NA-FF and Street NA-FR.
.
Street Turbo AWD
1st place of Street Turbo AWD goes to Eldred Goh of 833 Motorsports and his Lancer Evolution IX. His timing is 2:32.007 and he often win this class.
The 2nd place go to Eric Chua of Ptune and his Lancer Evolution IX with timing of 2:33.712 which is few tenths of his personal best. The turbo on this car is a FP Black which give out very good power for a stock frame turbo. However, extra attention to EGT is needed due to the design of stock turbo system.
Our buddy, Akzal Benyamin got 3rd place with time of 2:36.213 despite suffering from turbo issue. He is sponsored by GP Sports Malaysia. Wish him better luck next time!
Nazarudin Mohd Nordin of Naztech Racing piloted his Lancer Evolution IX to a 2:38.009 which is way off their personal best of 2:32.7. They suffered from boosting issue during TTA. The most impressive part about this car is that they did 2:32.7 with a stock turbo which is an extremely good time because they spent a lot of time to develop the chassis. A very great example for rest of the field to follow.
Maverick Lim of 833 Motrosports piloted his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X to time of 2:46.693.
There are 8 participant this time for Street Turbo AWD. All 8 cars managed to post a lap time and there are no DNF. No new record is set.
